Morshed. This report is assigned on, 2011 and the submission date is 27th November 2011. As

Objective of the study:

The main objective of the study is to discover the Practice of Compensation System in BRAC

Bank Ltd.

Scope of the Study:

In this “Compensation Strategy” report we are going to cover following areas of BRAC Bank

Ltd:

Company Profile

Compensation Strategy

Although we hear people saying that they do not care for money but they do care for the feeling

of belongingness to their organization it goes without saying that money is a major motivator. It

is through compensation by which a relatively effective and satisfied working force is sustained.

The maintenance of employee co-operation is largely dependent upon the answers of following

questions:

Whether the company’s compensation rates are better than those of the segment

market?

What indirect plans of compensation are commonly used in the organization?

What specific plans are available from which to choose?

Introduction

35

What benefits, incentives and rewards are provided?

Whether these policies are transparent to the employees and practiced without any

distortion?

We have basically judged the organizations on the basis of the above criteria. Beyond our scope

to focus on each and every bank, we have chosen BRAC Bank Ltd.

Methodology:

Data are collected from both primary and secondary sources. Necessary information is collected

from Face to face conversation with the bank officers & staffs Conversation with the clients, the

daily newspapers, relevant journals, annual reports of BRAC Bank, survey using questionnaires

and their web site.

Limitation:

Though we are lucky to get the chance to prepare this report but unfortunately we have faced

some difficulties. We tried to overcome the difficulties and gave our best effort.

When preparing this report, some difficulties we faced:

The officers were so much busy with their work and did not able to give us enough time.

As the pay grade and compensation detail information is completely secreted for the

organization BRAC Bank Ltd. So they do not provide us detail information about it.

35

BRAC Bank Limited is a scheduled commercial bank in Bangladesh. It established in

Bangladesh under the Banking Companies Act, 1991 and incorporated as private limited

company on 20 May 1999 under the Companies Act, 1994. The primary objective of the Bank is

to provide all kinds of banking business. At the very beginning the Bank faced some legal

obligation because the High Court of Bangladesh suspended activity of the Bank and it could fail

to start its operations till 03 June 2001. Eventually, the judgment of the High Court was set aside

and dismissed by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on 04 June 2001 and the Bank

has started its operations from July 04, 2001. The Chairman of the Bank is Mr. Muhammad

A[Rumee] Ali. Now the Managing Director and & CEO of the bank is Mr. Syed Mahbubur

Rahman. The bank has made a reasonable progress due to its visionary management people and

its appropriate policy and implementation.

BRAC BANK LTD. has a reputation of serving the best possible service to their clients. All of

their employees should have some unique qualities to keep going on with the reputation. They

believe that to maintain this reputation quality employee is must. To acquire employees they

have a staffing process. They have divided their staffing process in Employment planning and

job analysis, Recruitment, Selection process, Training (if needed). As we know from the

theoretical part that the first step of developing employment-planning system is job analysis,

BRAC BANK LTD. also performs that. They also develop a set of clearly defined job

description and job specifications. In their job analysis, BRAC BANK LTD. focuses on what the

job holder requires to do and the skills they needed to do it. In their job analysis they also

provide the analysis of the activities that an employee performs.

damages to the organization. The compensation strategy drives the compensation policies and

compensation processes in the organization. The compensation strategy provides the

organization with the vision of its compensation drives the effort of HR employees and manages

the investments into the human capital. The compensation strategy sets the limits for the

compensation and benefits section, provides the business with the predictability of the personnel

expenses and helps to control the personnel expenses efficiently. The compensation strategy

defines the priorities in compensation and benefits section. The well managed compensation

increases the performance and satisfaction of employees. The employees have the assurance of

indicator of good management skill and effort of the employee. The bank always acknowledged

the valuable contribution made by its employees for the continuous superb achievement every

year. The bank created a sense of community among the employees by encouraging

communication with each other in the Management committee Meeting and across the

department and divisions. This discussion helped the employee to learn each other jobs and roles

and develop an understanding about the bank as a whole. They also organize training programs

and workshops to improve the skill of the employee. BRAC Bank Ltd has entered into agreement

with some good medical center for providing service to the bank’s employee and family

members at concession rate. Staff welfare fund has been created for securing the employees form

accidental loss. There is some interesting activity that normally a bank cannot do but BRAC

Bank do. The Bank arrange annual picnics, family nights where employee participate along with

different occasions. Deserving candidates are given a regular basis promotions and increments.

encourage people to assume responsibility and to encourage compliance culture, some of the

remuneration which was paid indiscriminately earlier has been made performance based and

result oriented. As such the annual assessment process has gone through major changes. It is

hoped that new system will provide sustained support for Bank’s contentious success. BRAC

Banks reward and benefits practices aim to support in attracting and retaining the best people for

the organization. To maintain an attractive salary and benefit package, they regularly compare

themselves to a select group of other businesses and reward higher performance by individuals

Structure: Shareholding structure

The Reward System

The reward system of an organization includes anything that an employee may value and desire

and that the employer is able or willing to offer in exchange for employee contributions on top of

compensation. BRAC Bank Ltd provides reward to attract and retain people who have certain

knowledge, skill, aptitude and attitudes. This reward may be paid in the short term or in the long

term. Understanding how rewards effect motivation or modify behavior has been the aim of

behavior scientists. One great difficulty they face is that the value an individual attaches to a

specific reward or a reward package may vary significantly over time span need not be too long.

Rewards provided by the employer can be two types:

(1) Compensation components

(2) Non-compensation components

35

Compensation components

The compensation strategy and compensation policy includes several compensation components

and the ownership and the responsibilities have to be defined for them. The compensation

components should not have just one owner; the components should be distributed to all the

business leaders, as they need a financial tool to motivate their employees. The HRM Function

tends to centralize the compensation components ownership to one place, but this approach can

work just for a limited period of time and then it fails and hurts the business.

The top management of the organization has to make a clear decision about the components

included in the compensation strategy and compensation policy. The compensation policy has to

define the roles and responsibilities of different departments and the general rules applied to each

compensation component in the organization. Let see a diagram of compensation components:

35

Non-Compensation components provide by the BRAC Bank Ltd

one of the most powerful rewards an organization can offer to an employee is to

Job Evaluation

Job evaluation is the process of systematically determining a relative internal value of a job in an

organization. In all cases the idea is to evaluate the job, not the person doing it. Job evaluation is

the process of determining the worth of one job in relation to that of the other jobs in a company

so that a fair and equitable wage and salary system can be established.

Reasons for job evaluation:

To assist in setting pay rates those are comparable to those of similar jobs in other organizations. This enables the organization to compete in the marketplace for the best available talent and also allows employee to compare the pay receive with that received by employees doing similar works in other organization –to be externally competitive.

To establish an orderly, rational, systematic structure of jobs based on their worth to

organization.

To justify an existing pay rate structure or to develop one that provides for internal equity

(consistent and ethical treatment).

To provide a rational basis for negotiating pay rates when bargaining collectively with a

recognized union.

To comply with equal pay legislation and regulations determining pay difference

according to job content.

This process helps BRAC Bank Ltd to find out the detail job description and responsibility of

each employee. BRAC Bank Ltd use rating scale to find out the productivity and efficiency of

the employee. BRAC Bank Ltd has job description for each employee. They used a four level

35

rating process to find out the output of the employee. To maintain an attractive salary and benefit

package, they regularly compare themselves to a select group of other businesses and reward

higher performance by individuals and teams. They want their employees to feel rewarded by the

challenge of their roles, career opportunities, learning new job tasks, and positive team
